Mammarato.

Permission to explain my vote.
1:21:19
Permission granted.
1:21:20
Thank you.
1:21:21
While recognizing the importance of law enforcement transparent see.
1:21:24
Today, I will be casting my vote against overriding the mayor's veto of how many acts, how many stop acts.
1:21:31
We I value the intention behind the bill, my concern lie and operational challenges, and the need to strike a balance between public disclosure and safeguarding sensitive information.
1:21:41
We must work collaboratively to find solutions that address accountability without compromising the effectiveness of our police force.
1:21:50
In casting my vote, I take into consideration the existing attrition within our police department and the strain it places on our officers.
1:21:59
While the how many stop acts aims to enhance transparency, we must also acknowledge the small increments and administrative tasks that can have cascading effects on our already stretched resources.
1:22:11
In a time where we grapple with budget deficit, it's imperative to access the potential impact of operational efficiency and allocate resources judiciously to maintain both transparency and fiscal responsibility.
1:22:25
Simultaneously, I commend the intentions behind the second bill, which seeks to implement, reform, and enhance due process.
1:22:33
In those in the Department of Corrections custody.
1:22:36
But to completely abolish this provision that keeps both our officers and inmates safe, is not a safe or responsible decision.
1:22:45
I will also be voting to not override this veto, so I vote no on both.
